What I’m working on

Nov 29, 2010

I'm trying to make December enjoyable. Imagine that! For me, that means cutting waaaaay back on my own expectations of myself and, in turn, I hope that will reduce the holiday stress. To that end, I am making just one gift this year. Shocking, but true. I spent some time working on this one word proverbial quilt last night and this morning. I really like how it's coming together.

Also coming together are the latest batch of camera straps. The final shop update for 2010 will take place on Friday, December 3 at 2:00 pm EST. Everything sold on Friday or over the weekend will ship on Monday, December 6th. Anything sold after the weekend will ship within two business days. I am happy to ship overseas, but I cannot guarantee Christmas delivery. That said, in my experience, air mail to most places any other time of the year takes about 10 business days. You might want to keep that in mind.

It's 50 degrees outside. I'm going to take this opportunity to hang the garland. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. And I am getting kind of giddy.

Erin, if I hadn’t deliberately taken steps to slow down I would have had (and created for my family) a miserable season. We’re scaling back in every aspect but time to be together and doing things together.

I am excited to see that you are working on the proverbial quilt…I have everything ready for this quilt too except time and it looks like you are using a light backround which is what I am planning as well.Looking forward to seeing it!

All of mine are going to have to be handmade this year, but I totally understand your reluctance. I think I’m going to have to keep it small, so I don’t have to panic all the way until Christmas.
Oh, and I’m getting giddy here, too. Christmas is the best time of year! 🙂

I have a stash of fabric with words on it. I was never sure what to make out of it.And then I saw the pattern for the Proverbial Quilt and I thought “perfect.” Words made out of “word” fabric. So that’s my plan after the start of the year…
Totally simplifying Christmas. As a family we decided no gift giving except for the 2- and 4-year-old grandchildren. Just time spent together. And saving money to go to Disneyland some time in 2011.
